I Broke My Writing Commitment
And it’s time to get back to it
It’s been a week since I’ve published anything on Medium.
Today marks two weeks straight of only publishing one or two articles a week. Today I have to make myself sit down and write something to break the paralysis I’ve been under recently.
Back in November, I had a week where I wrote 5 stories in one day. I was writing every weekday as I had committed to do when I started here back in June.
I wrote enough in November that in December I rode the wave and almost broke $1,000 a month from the Partner Program.
The last two months I’ve been earning less than half of that each month.
While I’m tempted to be hard on myself for not writing, I’ve learned better. I’ve got a plan, and it’s going to work out. I just need to pass the licensing exam to become a professional engineer to get that out of the way.
And I’m going to do it.
Last weekend as my wife and I traveled for a short vacation to celebrate her grandpa’s 90th birthday; I learned a lot while talking with her. She is wise beyond her years, and a joy to have a good, long conversation with.
